Photo Realistic Painting

Realistic Painting 01

Alright, what’s so interesting about 3 guys standing beside a photo? Except that the photo is actually a painting! This is a photo realistic painting of Tica by Dru Blair, the guy in the center. Check out the stages in the painting as well as a close up in the 3 pics after the jump.

      Here’s how he did it.

      You take a photo, and in photoshop, you take the erase tool and go over the image. Then you post the “working” images in a ‘work-in-progress’ gallery, then you pose the ‘finished portrait’ by some airbrush paints and an airbrush, with your home-boys looking on. Then you post it on a blog site such as Hemmy.

      Oh, by-the-way… the girl was photoshoped onto the canvas after the photo of the 3 guys were taken.

      Buhahhahaaa… who you tryin’ to kid anyway???

      Guys this is the most famous photo realistic artist in his country. This kind of painting by airbrush is teached in the most notorious art school all over the world. It’s not a fake.

      Elementary photoshop work. I could do that, along with every 6th grader who can click a mouse.

      It’s real. This guy was featured in Airbrush magazine a while back. His work is amazing.

      Who in the world would seriously think it was fake? Perhaps you armchair detectives can tell me how he would then proceed to ‘photoshop’ his seminars? If nothing else, people’s disbelief is a testament to the skill of the artist.

      It really isn’t quite as impressive as you all might think. Achieving such a convincing effect in airbrush is rather easy when compared to photo-realistic work done with traditional oil paint. Here are just a few examples of paintings done with traditional oil paint. -

      Now I’m not railing against Blair’s work. He is very skilled and has really mastered his medium, but give credit where credit is due.

      I have been airbrushing for 30 years and I am considered one of the best photorealistic technicians in the world. I feel certain that although Dru Blair has produced many accomplished
      paintings of aircraft and objects, this portrait has texture and detail which indicate a photographic source. It could not have been done in the simple way or in the short period of time that the explanation shows. It seems to be an exercise in self-promotion designed to fool
      the vast majority of viewers who simply do not know any better.

      While technically impressive there is no style… nothing of the artist in this airbrushed painting… he is nothing more than a slow photographer using the wrong equipment!
